President Trump and Elon Musk gathered in the Oval Office on Tuesday to discuss government cuts, but it was Musk’s four-year-old son, “Lil X,” who stole the show. The meeting, expected to be serious, took a playful turn thanks to the toddler’s antics.
Trump couldn’t resist commenting on Lil X, joking that the young boy had a “high IQ,” which lightened the mood and prompted laughter from those present. The child’s presence gave the serious discussion an unexpected, amusing vibe.
While the conversation about government efficiency continued, Musk found his attention often diverted by his son. At one point, Lil X playfully tugged at Musk’s ears as his father carried him on his shoulders.
Musk laughed off the distraction, joking that he’d be able to enjoy the meeting more if his son wasn’t pulling on his ears. Despite the disruption, the moment added a humorous touch to the otherwise tense political discussion.
